  1. Excellent and good luck! I think that area may have been where the old Chia Star was located, or maybe it's where the parking garage is now.
  2. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. - Abraham Lincoln Thank you for your commentary.
  3. Not sure it's been mentioned here, but growing up in Houston I remember going with the family to a special steak place off nroth Shepherd several times per year during the 1970's and very early '80's. Ducho's Steak House. I loved that place. The real baked potatoes with the condiments tray, the ice burg lettuce salads and juicy steaks cooked to order . . . and the little picks that were stuck in each steak to confirm your steak choice.
  4. Thanks for that list Firebird, and the memories. I used to go to that mall back in the late 70's when I lived off Louetta near Kuykendahl. Greenspoint was THE mall for the northwest suburbs, and I loved going to Oshman's and the movies. I stopped going when Willowbrook Mall opened up and haven't been back since the late '80's. Whenever I fly into town and take 45 into the city these days, I always look over at what used to be palace of north suburbia. BTW, before Greenspoint went up in what was the far north, Aldine was a pretty nice suburban area full of young families. I lived there through Kindergarten . . . Hidden Valley Elementary!
  5. I think this news is extremely over blown. Watching cnbc just now and they have a "Breaking News" reporter on location in front of the Ernst & Young NY headquarters telling us that one employee may or may not have the swine flu and has been out since last Thursday. One employee.
  6. That's how I got into the oil/gas industry. Received my BBA in finance, worked in commercial banking and found my way in the industry. Currently I'm a trader, but started in the finance group/treasury dept. of a growing company (back in the mid '90's).
  7. Thank you, made it myself. The river area is nice. I live just south of downtown Naperville, 5-7 minutes by car and 20 or so by bike. I''ve been here for over 10 years and love the place. I'm also a bigtime Chicago Fire fan, so if you make your way to Bridgeview ever, let me know. My friends and I tailgate before every game (3+ hours before kickoff). Come on by.
  8. Frankly, I'm surprised there are idiots like you still around. Go to the next Dynamo game and stand with all the "gays" in the El Batallon or Texian Army supporters sections and offer up your unique point of view, and bring your friends. I'm sure all those Eurotrash, Latino, Homosexuals will be impressed by your frankness and probably too scared to say anything to your face. Better yet, wait until Aug. 9th when I'm in town and I'll buy your ticket and beer on one condition. I get to witness your internet bravery in person. Love, - Native Texan - Former football player for 7 years (and the bad knees, pins, and arthritis to prove it) - Pickup truck owner since I was a teenager (I'm almost 40 now) - Copenhagen user - NFL, MLB and MLS season ticket holder.
  9. It's been pretty impressive to see this project go up over the past several years. Hey editor, good to see another Chicago area Houstonian. I'm over in Naperville, but make my way into the city for Bears and White Sox games frequently, not to mention the museums and dinner outings for work.
  10. In the late 70's I pretty much got all my clothes from Sears - Tuffskins jeans and my shoes from K Mart - Traxx. In the early 80's, I liked going to Hobie for my cool Hobie t-shirts, OP shorts and my checkered Vans. In fat, I still have my old red/white velco OP wallet somehwere in my house. In the mid to late 80's I shopped mostly at Millers Outpost for jeans, pants, Cosby-esque sweaters and remember going to the mall to buy my penny loafers and boat shoes.
  11. Losing DeRo is huge for the Dynamo, no doubt about it. I've read elsewhere that Houston will not be using its Designated Player slot, so I'm wondering if that's true then who of similar quality could the Dynamo bring in to replace him?
  12. I joined this site after reading some posts about this topic on another message board. Any updates on the stadium?
  13. LOL!!!! Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here and literally laughed when I read this post. I joined this forum to find more information about the proposed soccer stadium and have enjoyed reading the hundreds of other threads this massive forum has to offer . . . then I came across this gem tonight. I'm a memeber of another message board and find it hilarious that this guy is posting the same quality, overkill elsewhere. Priceless.
